Despite dropping off in recent weeks, losing to West Ham, Brentford and Crystal Palace, Sunderland can be pleased with how they have adapted to life in the Premier League. They brought in a number of players in the summer, and it appears Simon Adingra will soon depart the Stadium of Light. The club have moved quickly to sign his replacement, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that Sunderland have agreed a deal to sign Nilson Angulo from Anderlecht.

Sunderland have suffered defeats in recent weeks, so keeping competition high is imperative, and Angulo will be eager to make an immediate impact.

What Angulo Brings to Sunderland
Angulo is 22 years old and known for his creativity in attacking areas. He possesses fantastic close control, and always looks to take opponents on. He can operate anywhere across the front line, bringing versatility to Le Bris’ squad.
His ball retention also stands out with his ability to create a yard of space from nothing. He’s also not shy of his defensive duties, which will help the Sunderland faithful warm to him.
